Chicken Chilli

I've got my new slow cooker and now get to try some of the recipes I've been pinning to Pintrest. This one was for turkey chilli but I used chicken mince.
It was easy and nice but I want to play with getting more flavour into it next time.

My new slow cooker has the ability to sear the meat or fry the onions first - which I did. It was fantastic being able to do it all in the slow cooker rathe than making more dishes.

The recipe originally came from a site called Hazel Street Eats via Food Gawker

We had it with corn chips, sour cream and grated cheese.

I served the portion for our little person before adding the chilli with worked well...despite her being adamant that she wanted hers 'spicy'.
